methyl tertiary-butyl ether (mtbe) is used to reduce carbon monoxide and ozone in urban air and to boost fuel octane. there is a lack of knowledge in the literature about the histomorphometric changes of the testis following exposure to mtbe. therefore, this experimental study was performed to determine the effect of oral exposure to mtbe on histologic and histomorphometric changes of testis in...

Hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis function is necessary for maintaining proper female reproductive cycle. This study aimed to evaluate the ovarian histomorphometric and histoarchitectural changes in neonatal, prepubertal pubertal thymectomized guinea pigs. A total of 30 pigs, sham-operated (n-5) were studied each group. The diameter number follicles among sham operated pigs during estrus phas...

Food intake of rats increases during pregnancy. This requires changes in the structure of the small intestine to absorb additional food. The aim of the present study was to investigate the morphological changes in the layers of small intestine in rats during pregnancy. Duodenum, jejunum and ileum of 18 pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats (day 7, 14 and 21 of pregnancy) were collected. Villous height a...
